Job description

Overview

$75K–$95K with Sign-on Bonus $7,500. At HPRC in Columbus, GA, you will step into a role that goes far beyond traditional outpatient care. As part of a program affiliated with Easter Seals, you’ll work in a fully integrated environment where therapy is embedded into a child’s daily life. You will collaborate side by side with Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists, as well as teachers and caregivers, to support children with developmental delays and special needs while also treating outpatient pediatric patients from the local community. This is an opportunity to practice in one of the largest pediatric therapy settings in the region, building meaningful relationships and seeing your impact in real time.

Responsibilities

• Provide pediatric physical therapy services within a daycare setting, allowing children to receive care during their normal daily routines for more natural, real‑world progress.
• Partner with a multidisciplinary team (OT, SLP, teachers, and caregivers) to deliver comprehensive, coordinated care.
• Review each child’s medical history, developmental milestones, and family concerns to guide evidence‑based, individualized care.
• Evaluate movement, strength, coordination, balance, and functional skills through play‑based and standardized assessments in the child’s everyday environment.
• Create individualized, family‑centered treatment plans that support development and participation in daily daycare activities and routines.
• Monitor progress closely and adjust the plan of care to meet each child’s evolving needs.
• Partner with families and caregivers by providing education, home exercise programs, and strategies to support progress outside of therapy sessions.

How We Support You

• Benefits include generous paid time off, medical, dental, vision, disability, family building and parental benefits, and a 401(K) with a 4% employer match.
• A care model designed to support quality outcomes and efficiency.
• AI clinical documentation support built to significantly reduce after‑hours charting – so work stays at work.
• Structured mentorship and career development.
• Industry-leading continuing education through Evidence in Motion (EIM) including residency, fellowship, and board certification support.
• Multiple career pathways: clinical excellence, hybrid roles, and leadership.

Qualifications

• Licensed Physical Therapist (or ability to obtain licensure in the state of practice).
• Passion for evidence‑based, patient‑centered care.
